Horror:CureThe AuditionAcacia (This is just kind of a place holder... it was good, but I know I've seen better I just can't think of them.)Silence of the LambsDay of the DeadDawn of the DeadShaun of the DeadThe BirdsThe Evil Dead series (I can't choose just one sorry)Cannibal Holocaust

I prefer psychological horror to slasher flicks... and zombie movies are just awesome. I'm also bored with American horror movies, I prefer Japanese ones at this point. I need to see more "classic" American horror though.

Comedy:Shaun of the Dead (What... I can't have it in 2 lists?)Hot FuzzMonty Python anything (just... all of it)A Bit of Fry and Laurie (all the seasons)Beerfest (It's silly...)Nightmare Before ChristmasThe Princess BrideTenacious D and the Pick of DestinyInvader ZimAnything by Mel Brooks.

BerserkHellsingCowboy BebopNeon Genesis Evangelion (particularly the movie... I like a good mind fuck)Saikano (or She, The Ultimate Weapon)One Piece (who doesn't love pirates)Vampire Hunter DTrigunMonster (although I've only seen like the first 20-30 eps)I'm kind of torn between Death Note, Bleach, and Claymore (I also haven't finished the series) for my last one. Bleach was good, went really far downhill, and is starting to pick up again... Death Note was just good, if way too hyped up, and Claymore shows ridiculous promise). I'll leave my #10 slot open till I finish Claymore I guess...

I see some Westerns are making people's Top Tens, mostly Sergio Leone's. Fans of Deadwood should have a look at Warlock, based on the novel by Oakley Hall (which I believe Thomas Pynchon once said was his favourite book), because Deadwood is basically Warlock as a continuing series. Both deal with the violence apparently inherent in the birth of a new city, and the character Henry Fonda played in Warlock is essentially the same one he played in My Name Is Nobody (not to mention being the reason Leone wanted him for Once Upon A Time In The West).

TOP TEN WESTERNS

Warlock (greatest western of all time)My Name Is NobodyThe Good The Bad and The UglySeven Men From Now (this was part of a string of westerns made by Randolph Scott and Budd Boeticher that are to the western film what the Val Lewton canon is to horror) El Topo (so sue me -- it's my list)Duck You SuckerThe Price of Power (the JFK assassination in a western setting)The Big Gundown (Lee Van Cleef's best western outside of Leone's films)My Darling Clementine (Wow. Henry Fonda is all over this list. I never really thought about it before...)Once Upon A Time In The West

PredatorTales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight (still need to get this on DVD)Super TroopersThe Crow300TransformersWhat Dreams May ComeEternal Sunshine for the Spotless MindThe BenchwarmersGroundhog Day

It should of course be stated that on any given day there are twenty films waiting in the wings that COULD be on this list, but today they aren't.

.BREWSTER MCCLOUD (1970) (This may be my "pet rescue" pick - I wasn't even born when this film came out but I keep introducing it to people who were...).THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940).GLORIA! (1979) (part of Hollis Frampton's Magellan Cycle...avant/underground, won't show up on IMDB, but just a heartbreaking ten minutes of movie. Don't pay attention to descriptions you read online, they all focus on the formalist academic side of the film and not the fact that it's the most moving cinematic tribute to a parent that one will ever see.).THE LION IN WINTER (1968).FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998) (Sometimes this is Brazil).RUSHMORE (1998).WAYNE'S WORLD (1992).BATMAN RETURNS (1992) (Often times this is Ed Wood).RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981).HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940) (This is actually a recent discovery...don't know why it took me so long to see this film, but it's utterly magnificent. Sharp, smart, and brutally vicious...now I have to dig out Front Page, the play it was based on...).DEAD MAN (Sometimes this is every other Jim Jarmusch film.)

I make no claim to these being the best movies ever, but they're the ones that are perpetually stacked on top of my tv because I watch them the most:

Master and CommanderGladiatormst3k: The MovieDie Hard (the best Christmas movie ever)Bend it like BeckhamOcean's ElevenTombstoneHot FuzzAlmost FamousGuilty Pleasure: The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

"The Front Page" is much darker, far more misogynistic and racist than "His Girl Friday". Still very funny, but also understandable why Hawks decided to "soften" the script as much as he did.

And whatever you do, do NOT view the execreble 1974 Billy Wilder version. I love Lemmon and Matthau (well, pre "Grumpy Old Men"), and Wilder himself for that matter, but this film misses on so many levels, it's actually kind of painful to watch.
